The 2005 Coweta County Teacher of the Year is science teacher Kelley Finger of Newnan High School.
Teachers of the Year are selected by their peers for the quality of their teaching, professional development, teaching philosophy and methods, community involvement, and contributions to education. From the local nominees will come three finalists, one of whom will be chosen Coweta Teacher of the Year and nominee for Georgia Teacher of the Year.
The Coweta County School System is the only school system in Georgia with three state teachers of the year, including Nancy Royal, Jamie Lipscomb and Lorraine Johnson. There have also been twelve Georgia TOTY semi-finalists from Coweta since 1986, and Georgia Teacher of the Year Johnson was one of four finalists for national Teacher of the Year. |
